Mechanical watch experts out there. help? “Swiss Movt”?

Friday, November 7th, 2008


I have a replica Tag Heuer 6000 and on the dial below the 6 o’clock position it says “T-MOVT SWISS-T”. I know already that this isn’t a true “Swiss made” watch, but I am wondering what the swiss movt thing means. The T’s have something to do with the glow in the dark hands i think. The whole swiss movt thing… does that mean the internal workings are swiss and that the watch has a true swiss movement? I know the casing is foreign and that the whole thing isnt made/assembled in switzerland. I just want to know if my watch has an authentic swiss movement to it. Or does swiss movt mean that some of the parts are made in switzerland and assembled somewhere else. Is it impossible to tell without looking at the internal mechanics? I do know it is a really heavy watch. Heavier than most swiss mechanical watch knockoffs if that means anything? Also, the second hand isnt extremely jumpy. It ticks about 5-7 times between seconds. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
